I used these at the recommendation of other rennlisters:
and my experience has been positive, as well. Like anything else, of course, your $$$, your decision. Good luck getting it done whatever you decide.

I did mine this weekend.
From RockAuto they're just $81.51 each for Rein using the 5% off code. (IM me if you need the code)
It took me just over 30 minutes to install them.

This--the only thing I didn't already have in the tool box was a half-inch drive 18mm deep socket, iirc.

Very easy job. The hard part is getting under the car and removing the nuts off the studs that point downward. But with a lift - that part becomes easy.
But with a lift, you need to support the engine and work from above to remove the upper bolts. I think it took me less than an hour.
I see this car hasn't gotten any cleaner since I've owned it...

Would anyone honestly suggest mount replacement as a 1st ever DIY project for someone with zero tools and zero mechanical experience? Maybe i should start with brakes and work my way up. Between work and caring for an ill spouse i think my time is best spent elsewhere for now.
I did find out previously mentioned quote includes using Rein mounts. I will get a second quote from another indi and then make a decision.
as always, I appreciate this forum for all the useful info and prompt feedback that it provides.

It doesn't take many tools, but you need a decent car jack. This is much easier than brakes. I think the bottom bolt is 18mm and the tops are 13mm. If you had those sockets plus whatever it takes to get the airbox and I believe air pump off, it will not take long. I'm sure Pelican Parts has a great DIY article.

If you wanted to life the whole car, you need a jack and jack stands, and you need the jack to be one that fits under the Porsche...and then this stops being the job to make your first one to do yourself because despite being easy you just spent more than you saved by buying tools.
